HBO Max has revealed new details about the release of The Last of Us season two. The long-awaited sequel will be released in the spring of 2025. This was reported by IGN.
The showrunner of the series, Craig Mazin, noted that it would take more than one season to fully transfer the story of the second part of the game. He also reported that the second season of the show will have fewer episodes than the previous one and will prepare viewers for a "much bigger" third season. This may actually be related to the writers' strike in Hollywood in the summer of 2023.
‘THE LAST OF US’ Season 2 will release in Spring 2025 on HBO.
